Grungeboard is sort of like chipboard, that has the flexibility and feel of sueded leather, that you can attack with all your creativity. It can be folded, hammered, sanded, etc., without creasing or breaking.

There are 3 designs of grungeboard. Each has eight 5″ x 8″ sheets of die-cut designs (each of the 8 sheets is die-cut with different designs). Two sets are embossed, one has a plain surface.

There are also 8 new colors of Distress Crackle Paint. (Fired Brick, shown in the heart sample by Tim Holtz at left, Black Soot, Pine Needles, Tea Dye, Opaque White & 3 Metallic Colors — Tarnished Brass, Antique Bronze, Brushed Pewter)

Stickles Glitter Glue

Not really glue (not for adhering one thing to another) but “glue” in the sense that it’s glitter in an almost magical emulsion (the glitter never settles to the bottom of the bottle) for easily applying glitter to a collage without having to use another bottle of glue with your glitter. (That may have been the worst description I’ve written.) Anyway, cool stuff. It has a fine tip so you can write words or doodle. Six colors in 1/2 oz. bottles.
